I have an older winch that has no identifying marks except RMR50601 is stamped on a cover end plate. It broke and I am trying to find replacement parts. Any Ideas?

Just would like to know

I live in Ohio, and my company is laying people off. A few people were not allowed back to their desks to pack up their stuff, and had to rely on other people to get their stuff. Is this legal, can they bar you from getting your stuff?

I have gotten a few different translations from online

I am a 30 year old single guy, who is living in a two bedroom apartment by myself. I found myself in a little bit of a finnacial difficulty and have decided to rent out my spare bedroom to a roommate to save cash. well I posted an add on craigslist and have shown the place to a few guys that ranged from finacial risk, to just plain scary. (Nobody good enough) Well today I got a call from a 25 year old girl who actually has a good job(I would settle for a job at this point). Her issue is her dog is making it difficult to find someone to accept her. Which is not a problem for me. My issue is I have never thought about taking on a female roommate before, and am trying to figure out how I feel about this. Has anyone has had an opposite sex roommate out there, and what issues where there? And how did you get around them. keep in mind that I have been living alone for five years now, and even a male roommate will be a big adjustment. We will be sharing a bathroom.

Thanks,

I just found a set of keys like no other I have seen. They look like a philips head screw driver at the tip but each of the four "rails" is cut differntly. They have the name Gorilla on them and a serial number. They look important anybody know what this is for?

I need some advice, I have decided to get a roommate due to my budget is getting a little tight. i have a two bedroom one bath apartment, and put an few ads up. I got a few response but all of them guys who I do not really want to live due to one reason or another. Today I had a 25 year old girl look at and really liked it. I told her I would get back to her. I have never concidered a female roommate. A little about me I am 30 year old guy, would is very shy. I don't have much of a social life, and haven't even dated much. The more I think about this the more I think this could be good for me. However I would like to know what the potential pit falls could be. Any advice to make it work. Hope to hear from you.

I am fed up(or more giving up) I have always driven pickup and suv's. However gas prices are killing me!!! I am starting to try to think out of the box, for other options however I need some help. I have one real problem, I am big. Now when I say big I don't mean I am a little over weight. I am 6' 5" tall 300 Lbs, and therefore just don't fit well in most cars. That is always why I have drive bigger vehicles. What I need is something fuel efficient, resonably priced, and has the ability to not have me feel as though I am in a sardine can. I am proportioned so I need both head and leg room. Any help would be greatly apprieciated. Thanks

I have a new wii, but am getting tired of the Wii play game that came with it. I typically like games that are first person shooter or racing/flying games. Some titles from other systems that I like are The whole GTA series, F-Zero (Super nintendo), MechWarior(Computer), mircosoft flight simulator. Any Suggestions? Thanks,

I just completed a motorcycle safety class in ohio and got my motorcycle endorsement on my licence. I am looking to purchace a motorcycle to continue to learn on. I am looking for some educated sudgestions at to what brands and models to look for. I think I would prefer used as my plan is to upgrade to something new when my truck is paid off in two years. Ideally a bike in the range of $2500 if possible would be good. Although I could go as high as $3500-$4000, based on input recieved here. I should also mention I am a big guy, 6'4 300lbs. I don't want to feel like I am riding a toy. (picturing circus and clowns on small bikes) Also are there any styles of bike that are better for larger people. I really am open to any style. I am just looking to be comfortable.

I had the police over recently to serve a search warrent on two of my tennants. They busted in two fire rated steel commercial type doors. Now that those tennants are gone the destruction remains. I got a quote on replacements, and talk about sticker shock $1000.00 per door and lock set. Needless to say I strated trying to repair instead, which I actually did a pretty good job on the door. (using autobody filler on the steel, alot of c-clamps, and some enginuity) My problem now is the lock set which apparently is about half the $1000 cost each. they are those ruswin corbin mortise type locks. (you know the little rectangular package that slides into the door end. Has anybody ever tried to fix these when they get bent. If I can fix it all I need to do is replace the knob. and yes under code these need to be fire doors and replacing them with cheaper home depot fire doors without replacing the other 8 would look like crap.

Basically I am moving a rotating mass, that is spining at about 1800 rpm. I will alsobe contiually holding pressure on it, when activated. What kinds of connectors should I be looking at? The lower profile the better

Thanks

I have a serious flea problem in a tenant of mines apartment, the orkin man wants 200 dollars with no garuntees on success. They have have spread to another apartment, and I am about to lose two tennants. what product, or company will get rid of them. I can't afford the two hundred, but if that is the best solution I will have to manage it. are there better companies than others?

A few weeks ago I was casually watching TV, when a show called trucks! came on. They rebuilt an eight wheel drive amphibious vehicle similar in construction to an argo. But instead of differential steering it had a pivot in the center similar to how big grading machines are steered. I think that this may have been an old episode, because I can't find anything about it on there web page. I would like to know what this was. Thanks

I have a very old 5 gallon can of oil based Kilz primer that was not sealed properly and is now kind of chunky and I think worthless. It doesn't even have a handle anymore or a good fitting lid so transporting it will not be easy. The can is nearly full, how can i get rid of this?

for larger structural parts. by large i mean a tube that is 15 inch dia four feet long.

I am looking to take my son and girlfriend camping down in florida this March. I would like something on or within walking distance of the beach(atlantic or gulf), and not too far south(already a long drive). Ideally a resort type camp ground would be nice. (The more non camping stuff the more my girlfriend will want to go) I don't have a great deal of money, any suggestions?

I would like to build a device to detect a person slipping and falling. My thoughts go initially to accelerometers, but maybe someone has a better idea.
